Tottenham Hotspur lost another game at home after Callum Wilson's late goal gave Nuno Espirito Santo's side a vital win. Spurs remain 14th in the table and many will view this as a missed opportunity to regain some confidence and start to look up the table.
The Hammers led for much of the match but Cristian Romero pulled one back to level it at 1-1. At that point, it may have been expected that Spurs would go on for the win. However, that never materialised and they conceded a late goal after some sloppy defending.
Here are four takeaways from the game:
Thomas Frank is under pressure
Manager Frank is rumoured to be close to losing his job. The home fans were not happy throughout the match as they turned on their manager and started chanting "sacked in the morning".
It has been a frustrating season for the side from North London and recent results have not been good enough. Performances have looked disjointed and, at one point it looked as though most supporters were prepared to give him time but, time appears to be running out for the Dane.
Another side without a win turns up and beats Spurs
It happened last time out at Bournemouth as the Cherries were without a win since October yet got three points against Frank's side. Earlier in the season, Nottingham Forest had suffered a poor run of results yet the only game they won over the festive period was a 3-0 home win against Spurs. Bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers were also stuck on two points for a long time yet got one of them against Spurs.
It even happened last season when Ange Postecoglou was in charge and newly-promoted sides Ipswich Town and Leicester City were both on losing runs yet recorded wins against Spurs.
Before this game, West Ham were ten without a win in the Premier League and suffered an embarrassing defeat to Wolves in their last away game. At home, they lost to Forest and many thought that would be a result that would send them down but then this three points has closed the gap again.
Yet another injury
Ben Davies went off on a stretcher after he suffered a leg injury in the first half. It will not be used an excuse but over the last two seasons they have suffered a huge number of injuries. Key players have been missing for a long time and it is likely that the Welshman will now spend a significant amount of time on the sidelines.
Spurs' next game is against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League and it has been suggested that they could be missing as many as 15 first team players for the game against the German side.
Lack of a goalscorer
Despite the injuries, there is an argument that the players who are playing should be doing more. It was not the first goal that Romero has scored this season but their centre back has at times been a key scorer.
Randal Kolo Muani started up front but is yet to score in the Premier League.The club have previously invested in Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel but they have not delivered the goals and were criticised for their performance against West Ham.
Conor Gallagher has recently joined and he may be able to add some goals to the side but Frank will likely need to prove to fans and the club's owners that he should be the man given more funds to strengthen the side.
They can still make a success of the second half of the season as the table remains close but it feels like Frank has to see an improvement in results sooner rather than later.
